Egypt: 7 killed in Cairo clashes

CAIRO—Security and hospital officials say seven people have been killed in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egypt's Islamist president in Cairo.

The officials say the seven were killed in three separate clashes, but had no further details.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Tuesday's clashes come one day before a military deadline warning President Mohammed Morsi and his opponents to work out their differences or it will intervene with its own political road map to resolve the crisis.

With a military deadline for intervention ticking down, hundreds of thousands of protesters seeking the ouster of Egypt's Islamist president sought Tuesday to push the embattled leader further toward the edge with another massive show of resolve and unity. Witnesses said that armed and masked men marching with Muslim Brotherhood protesters fired pellets at protesters holding a sit in in the Kit Kat area, leaving a number of people injured. Police men in plain clothes held their automatic rifles and sided by protesters to disperse the Muslim Brotherhood protesters. EGYPT OUT ((AP Photo/Roger Anis, El Shorouk Newspaper) EGYPT OUT)
